I'm not a doctor so this opinion is strictly a guess but yes, I would attribute that sensation to healing of the incision and the skull.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

This is all part of the healing processas per my GP he said that do not forget it was Brain Surgery and has effected the nerves so it will take time to heal and to be patient.  I received more information and details from him then my neurosurgeon... Just keep asking questions no matter how trivial you feel they are..
